Elena Tsatsura, senior researcher at the Institute of Social Analysis and Forecast of the Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration, spoke about this in an interview with RIA Novosti.
As for the tax deduction, it is applied not only when buying or building a home, but also when buying land. From January 1, 2024, this category of Russians was exempt from property tax: apartment, room, house, garage, land plot with an outbuilding of up to 50 square meters.
Citizens of retirement age can also count on a subsidy to pay for housing and communal services, but only if these expenses exceed the permissible proportion. As of July 1, 2024, bank fees will be eliminated when paying for public services.
“The regions, as well as the local level, have their own benefits and payments. As a rule, these are benefits for traveling by public transport, vouchers for sanatoriums, services of social workers, payment for dental prosthetics and others,” says Tsatsura.
Previously we wrote that an employee who has reached retirement age is not obliged to resign. By law, he has the legal right to continue working.
